TLRs have two major downstream signaling pathways, MyD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways leading to the activation of NFkappaB and IRF3 and the expression of inflammatory mediators.

To study the complex interaction between oxidative injury and the pathogenesis of vascular disease, vascular gene expression was examined in male Sprague-Dawley rats given 35 or 70 mg/kg allylamine, a synthetic amine converted to acrolein and hydrogen peroxide within the vascular wall.
Vascular lesions and extensive vascular remodeling, coupled to increased production of 8-epi-PGF2alpha, nuclear localization of NFkappaB, and alterations in glutathione homeostasis, were observed in animals treated with allylamine for up to 20 days.
